WE MADE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS DOUG!!!! Finally a playoff series even if it is just summer league..I'm proud of the guys they fault hard with relentless defense. They came out the gates charging to the finish line and never looked back...Sounds like Hornets DNA TO ME!!!

I was cussing at the split screen. "If I wanted to watch that d---- game, I would have watched THAT d---- game!".... .

Kon is impressing me the last two games. Love to see it and didn't expect him to be that good of a playmaker this early. I still think strong NBA defenders will give him some trouble early on, but he's also giving me hope that he can find ways to deal with that effectively as he gains experience, and he shouldn't have to deal with a teams best defenders early on at least.

As someone who didn't like the pick at 4, I would love to ultimately eat any and all crow on the menu over that take, and if he can look similarly strong over the preseason, I'll at least have to put a napkin on my lap in anticipation of it.

Go Baby Bees! We going to the Playoffs baby! Fun to see.

As luck would have it, we're leaving for a planned week-long vacation in Vegas tomorrow. I'll provide updates from inside the building as long as I can get tix!

Why does this feel different?! Echoes of Larry Legend , consistency, and maximum effort! It’s so early on, but if our young guys are showing up like this, it’s gonna be an exciting season! Let’s swarm Charlotte!!

My biggest takeaway from being in the building is that these players will run through a brick wall as long as they've got something to play for. That's the key to shifting this culture. As long as there's something to play for, there's no doubt in my mind they will play at or above whatever they showed us in Summer League.
